i think a good example is text size. My eyesight isnt horrible but it isnt great either so some small text can be hard to read for me. But in gnome in accessibility there is just a toggle for "large text" so i can either make all text fucking massive, or have it be normal. Other than that the most i can do is try to change specific font settings and fiddle with it constantly for each application lol. This could be fixed by just having a slider instead of a toggle in gnomes text accessibility options and letting you choose between a few different sizes.

Is it using Wayland or x11? Try switching to X11 if on wayland. Theres a scaling issue on wayland in certain versions where it thinks your screen is a MUCH higher resolution than it actually is. Its meant to help with high dpi displays by using digital pixels but on lower dpi displays it can mess up stuff especially in certain software like games.
Tuxedo OS as far as i know is an optional distro they give preinstalled. You can buy them with no OS and install one yourself via usb it takes like 15 mins. This is true of any laptop with an unlocked bootloader (something like a mac can be done but its harder.)
Most of them already did. My own laptop is a latitude 7400 i got after a business replaced it for cheap. They update their lineups regularly anyway usually. So most will be windows 11 ready. I think this laptop would be able to run windows 11 too altho idk cuz i use debian and have never tried it.
Are people going to throw them out? With tarrifs especially i think a lot of people will just use unsecure hardware.
I used to run a raspberry pi off a external phone battery via usb so i could carry it around while testing stuff lol
He never switched hes just a liar. Hes on of those libs who says they support gaza but wont call it a genocide and says "israel has a right to defend itself" and he voted for pro-israel anti-palestine shit in congress.
Oh man the libs really dont like when you point how their furthest left guy still supports genocide.
If your looking to use linux and have good battery life tho its not like thats hard to do. Especially with your use case. My laptop (latitude 7400) has a loud fan and runs hot on windows and undervolting is bios locked so on windows the battery life would suck and it would be loud and hot. But on linux i customize the tlp settings and turn the clock speeds down, make sure battery mode is on even when plugged in, and i get great battery life, and the fan never even turns on. Just pulled up powertop and it says with the web browser im typing this in and running a local music player im pulling 5W from the battery, at 81% right now, and have 10 hours until empty at current usage. And this thing only cost like 250$ cuz i got it used.
I mean any distro you can easily swap just log out and switch DE and have both installed. Even mint i have run gnome on before with no issues.
Are you planning to run Linux on it? Dont get a snapdragon then. Its not ready yet and youll have a ton of issues.
I just had to explain this to someone the other day lol. Figure ur gonna get lots of hate from libs about this post so wanted to just come in and say hi. 你是很好老师同志。Your posts in response are nicely done. I hope people take the time to read them.
